Cost of Attendance
Listed below is the estimated Law School Cost of Attendance during the 2018-2019 academic year.
In determining a student's budget, the University uses Bureau of Labor Statistics figures to estimate expenditures for the nine-month academic year. In the case of a student with dependent(s), the family's additional actual costs, within reason, will be used to determine the student budget. Such reasonable additional costs generally are about $4,000 per dependent.
Some students may have additional personal expenses not included in the standard budget. Examples of such additional expenses are medical expenses not covered by insurance and additional childcare or day care expenses. Students with special circumstances should verify the final amount of their budgets with the Graduate Financial Aid (GFA).
